Relying on excellent long-range shooting efficiency and good frontcourt rebounding ability, the Grizzlies once took a 26-point lead in the first half. Warriors head coach Kerr was expelled at the end of the first half after complaining about the penalty.

At one point, the Memphis crowd extended the point difference to 37 points, and the game lost suspense. In the end, the Grizzlies won 123-95 over the Warriors. The Warriors, who lost by 28 points, also swallowed a three-game losing streak.

The Green Army was defeated
The Raptors sit at home and challenge the Celtics. In this battle, the Green Army's 4 core Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Horford and Robert Williams were absent. However, the Celtics, under the leadership of Smart, Theis and others, still played a strong defense and excellent offense. However, the well-staffed Raptors still smoothed out the 11-point difference. The two teams were tied in regular time, and in extra time, the two sides were still inseparable. In the decisive moment, White missed a key layup, and the Raptors narrowly won 115-112 to win three consecutive games.

The Kings were unable to close the point difference, trailing their opponents by as many as 26 points at one point. Although the Kings recovered some points in the second half, the game was long overdue due to the wide disparity in points. The Heat eventually won 123-100, and after beating the Kings, Miami's record reached 48-28, and the winning percentage increased to 63.2%, returning to no. 1 in the East.
